Joanna combines an incisive analytic mind, with a genuine passion for understanding the learning process and how to improve it, especially in the context of making the best of digital technologies, and with a wonderfully enthusiastic personality that inspires all the researchers, teachers and students she is working with. I highly recommend her as a valuable colleague and top research and development expert in learning with digital technologies

Working with Joanna is a pleasure. Her work is first rate. She is a quality professional who consistently produces work of rigour and excellence. Joanna has a deep understanding of evaluative learning approaches and their application in differing contexts, along with a highly developed capacity to listen to client needs, systematically work alongside and support them to achieve the desired outcome. I would highly recommend Joanna for any evaluative learning projects where innovation, rigour and attention to detail in the approach and outcome are desired goals. Her work is exemplary!

Joanna is a pleasure to work with and we at IIED benefitted hugely from her expertise. Her knowledge of developing online learning courses is vast, and the advice she gave was fundamental to us getting our MOOC off the ground, and indeed to its success. Joanna is incredibly personable, and her own style of sharing knowledge is clear, direct and jargon free. I would highly recommend Joanna for any collaborations for developing online learning courses. A brilliant person to work with!

Joanna has a wealth of experience working in partnership with a broad range of institutions. Her expertise in designing online learning allows her to work across many different subjects and many types of learners. She is also an adept and friendly workshop facilitator, gently managing groups with differing views through design processes. When we worked together on research exploring students’ experiences of digital learning at university, Joanna was insightful, efficient, and pragmatic. I appreciated her skill in keeping projects focused and accurately quantifying the effort required for all involved. In this way Joanna ensures that projects are sustainable, and successfully meet complex expectations from institutions and learners alike.

Joanna delivered a range of projects for me at University of Oxford. She worked on OER impact, engagement, open access and learning design environments alongside researchers, library colleagues and learning technology service teams. I was happy to propose her as an Open University SCORE Fellow. Her work on frameworks for staff development developed during that fellowship provided practical strategies for further work. I am happy to recommend her to deliver digital projects and develop new pedagogical tools.
